    Any thought on this bass?

    Not a bass player, just came across this ebay listing and looks pretty interesting

    Is this a fair deal for $US700+ $60shipping ~ $800CAD (not including custom fees & tax)?

    * Warmoth Dinky Jazz body- swamp ash
    * Candy Tangerine Finish
    * Warmoth - Fender replacement neck
    * 34" scale with extra 21st fret
    o "Super Bass" construction
    o 1/4" thick slab fingerboard
    o Slim back contour
    o 10" fingerboard radius
    o Drilled 11/16" for standard tuning machines Standard 2-1/2" wide vintage fender heel specs
    * Shaller Lite Tuners
    * Gotoh Bridge
    * Dunlop Recessed Strap Locks
    * Sadowsky Pickups and Passive Electronics
    * Vol-Tone-Vol-Tone config
    * Vintage Parchment pickguard
    * Vintage Neck finish with finish removed on the back for super fast feel
    * Vintage Fender Neck Logo

    Fellow colleagues, what do you think?

    I wouldn't touch it. Unfortunately parts basses, no matter how good the parts don't seem to hold any value. I also really don't like the 'professional' job on the back of the neck.

    Some people might want that bass but me personally I like buying all original. I wouldn' t buy a modified bass.

    it looks good and a cool colour, but as mentioned earlier it will have no resale value. If you could get it for 300-400 it might be worth it

    At that price stay away, you can get much better used here at home.

    Thanks all for the replies.
    I digg that color as well but I'll probably spend $100 on a used starter bass.
    Ya, it's only sold for a fraction of its cost. I guess you'd buy it if you don't plan to sell it.
